I don't take any relationships for granted and I won't ever again. I just enjoy life.
I live life and I don't take it for granted.
I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
The truth is, I've never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that's a good thing. You know why? Because I'm not. Wasn't that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I'm funny!
My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of The Color Purple. It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.
Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.
I'm not really struggling about my career. The struggles are in my personal life. I can't really pinpoint how long it took me to get where I'm at, and I didn't care how long it was going to take, because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.
If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.
Parents should support and love their kids no matter what.
I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.
I think it's good that I get scared because, if you never get scared, you don't have any need for guts.
People are just way too sensitive. You couldn't have a show like 'Archie Bunker' on TV. People would go crazy; they would lose their minds.
'Saturday Night Live' is live television. Nothing can compare to that.
